February: The Happiness Project SOCIAL

Native habitat: snowbound Japan

Today I got tricked into going for ramen with annoying co-worker x. Secretly I only went for the Japanese practise, but it was nice to get out of the house for dinner. Note to self – go for ramen more often!
Then we had the special February English classes, which I think went well. Am thinking of combining the two and asking them all out for a special English ramen dinner-enkai thing after the last lesson.

Tomorrow is yoga class. Good, because I haven’t been in AGES and my body needs a proper teacher and not just me doing only the stretches I really like and therefore probably don’t really need to do; bad, because A will be there. But it’s okay, because I am Audrey Hepburn. I don’t grimace, nor grit my teeth in irritation; I swan, I glide, I sail effortlessly and with seamless grace. By god, I think I am actually going to wear a neck scarf to really get into character!!

The weekend (three days! Hurray!) sees me meeting E for knitting, T for dinner, D (not that D, alas) staying over on Sunday for cluedo and baking, and possibly M on Monday.

And then I must cage my wings and get back to work. :/

Write two letters a week: one to grandpa, one to friend of choice!

Refuse to let A stress me out. She is out of my life as far as possible now, and it is up to me to conduct myself with dignity and self-respect. If in doubt, think: what would Audrey Hepburn at her most elegant do?

Have people over to the house for dinner at least once

Meet people in the big city at least twice
